Your garage door opener is
probably the least-exciting piece of machinery in your garage—it's a
completely pedestrian device that you really only think about if it's
malfunctioning. But this Ryobi unit brings the humble door-mover up to
the 21st century, with a bunch of novel, modular features.

The
main part of this machine features a 2hp motor and a belt drive that
Ryobi claims is 20 percent quieter than your typical jackshaft drive.
It's also got a motion-detecting LED light. So far, pretty standard
garage door opener equipment.

But
the nifty part is the modular stuff you can add on. An extension cord
reel with a 30-foot cord gives you power where you need it without
cluttering up your floor or shelves; a Bluetooth speaker provides the
tunes; a snap-on fan offers some air circulation in your car cave.

And
on the front of the opener is a charging slot that accepts a Ryobi
1+ power tool battery. In the event of a power outage, the battery
powers the door opener through a claimed 100 openings or closings—though
having your spare battery hanging nine or 10 feet in the air probably
isn't the most convenient location when you're halfway through a DIY
job. Consider it a last-resort backup, I guess.

There's
also a laser parking aid, which projects a dot down through your
windshield and onto your dashboard to let you know when you're
approaching the wall, and a smartphone app that lets you open, close,
lock, or check on your garage door from anywhere in the world.
